You may regret losing the tea tray if you do much riding on wet/muddy roads, but losing it it does clean up the lines. What this thread needs is photo's.............

This is the M600 on the ride back from Hull when I bought it. This was the beast last week before I stumbled across this cush drive system. Oh and below is the Yammy I did last year. No wet roads for this one. Kev Last edited by kevrobot; 23-11-2015 at 01:20 PM.. |

Thanks Albie. On closer inspection though the 600 was quite rough. Badly rattle canned engine paint, mudguard kept on with rawl plug and wall screw etc etc. Ha ha.

I bought a few mopeds over last few years to restore and one of them had brake shoes which should have had a pair of internal brake return springs, but one was connected together with what looked like a paper clip.

I have had a read of yours. Can't believe you picked it up for 500 quid, an absolute steal, mine was quite a bit more than that. Yours looks like it was in way better cosmetic shape than mine when you got it too.
In fairness so far there hasn't been much to replace and Ducati John has been over the engine and it all seems mechanically sound so I'm happy. Means that it's mainly cosmetics that need to be done. |

Welcome along.
Glad you got them out. Could you post a pic of the "blind puller", just out of interest. ......Stevie Wonder jokes will be frowned upon. |

The blind puller is like this: http://www.justoffbase.co.uk/core/me...e5e0e9e2339c8a Basically 4 prongs which are expanded when you screw the bolt down. You then attach the slide hammer and pull em out. 1st attempts didn't work when I was pulling up from the floor with the wheel beneath my feet, but when I put the wheel on the side and had my legs holding it, they came out fairly easily. |

Its hard to tell from the picture but would I be correct in assuming that the puller grips on the bore of the inner steel sleeve ?
.....in which case, the rubber is still effectively absorbing some of the shock load as you apply the slide hammer ...? .....in which case I'm slightly but pleasantly surprised that it worked. I've not had to remove mine yet but I daresay there will come a day when I do, so its all good info to file for future ref. Ta. |
